They're out there, just poorly cataloged. RunRev currently only
lists components they resell, and the DMOZ index contains only a
slender subset of what's available:

But nothing even close to what you get if you compare it to Java
(largely due to the careful open source strategy), and dare I say
Director?
Maye having million-dollar marketing budgets helped. ;)
As for Director, while there are a great many components there is no
longer a single third-party source for them. Gray Matter used to be
that source, but they closed their doors many years ago, and today only
Macromedia themselves can afford to be the central repository.
